Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of applications accessed through internet browsers as tools for neuropsychiatric treatment, as well as to verify the benefits and efficacy of virtual support as a therapeutic approach.

Methods: A broad review of the MEDLINE (PubMed), SciELE and Cochrane databases for review articles was conducted. Articles involving the use of browser-based applications as a support for neurological and psychiatric treatment, with available texts on the selected platforms with no language or year restrictions, were included.

Results: A total of 83 reviews were included in this study. Due to the homogeneity of the information between some articles, the research was grouped according to the following revised themes: mindfulness, tinnitus, electronic health (eHealth), youth and students' mental health, mobile health applications (mHealth), depression, anxiety and stress, psychoactive substances, sleep quality, chronic diseases and mental disorders.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that the use of virtual support through applications helps neuropsychiatric treatment, improving the well-being and quality of life of these patients.
